Task 13 – A critical thinking task.

The wesbite I have enjoyed reading and using for one of my essays (when finding a definition) is the British Psychological Society.

This website contains everything a psychologist or a person wanting a career in psychology has to offer. It has everything from explaining what psychology is, issues and topics which are covered in psychology today, how to advance a career in psychology and even do sample tests  to practise for when job hunting. This website is aimed for students, academics and professional psychologists. 

I have found this website helpful when focusing on the health and wellbeing side of psychology, it is able to show what the topic is and also the definition of it. For example, Parkinson’s disease is briefly explained the definition of the disease. 

The website has an article page where psychologists have wrote theories and articles on important topics within psychology. Article topics range from researchers looking into how social media can lead to body dissatisfaction in women, to how colouring stops students going over the edge. 

It is good to get a better understand of meanings of words, or illnesses, and even what types of psychology there are.
